Today's Legion news covers a model preview for the Ghostly Moose Mount and Pepe in Azsuna. We also have images from the recent Blizzard Art Summit and a roundup of blue posts including Windwalker Monks.

Pepe in Azsuna

Pepe is continuing his quest for world dominance through cuteness by making an appearance in the new Legion zone Azsuna! This is Pepe's third documented appearance in Legion; previously he's been found in the Rogue Order Hall and as part of a still-life painting in Dalaran.

He can be found by Oceanic Cove towards the south of Azsuna. As we covered earlier in the week in our Azsuna spotlight, there is a pirate-themed quest by Oceanic Cove. One of the NPCs even has special dialogue if you're an outlaw rogue with the Artifact Weapon. Since Pepe also shows up in the Rogue Order Hall, could his closeness to the pirates in Azsuna be a coincidence or another sign of his rogue background? Jorrix Électincelle is a rogue NPC after all...

Blizzard Art Summit

Hundreds of Blizzard artists got together for the Blizzard Art Summit on April 7th and 8th. Here are some pictures of your favorite characters from the event--the tablecloths were perfect for doodling. For more images, check out Justin Thavirat, Terrie Denman, Brissia Jimenez, and Vaeflare on Twitter.

An update on this: We've significantly improved Tempête, Terre et Feu's AI, and tailored it for its new purpose.

Tempête, Terre et Feu clones will count toward Coup tournoyant de la grue, and they will actively seek to maximize its effect. Every time they TP or BoK or Coup de pied du soleil levant, they'll switch to a new target. Their target selection logic will try to hit targets that haven't been hit yet, and beyond that will prefer ones that were hit longest ago. They'll also ignore targets that have >90% DR or are not in combat with you. And since they Flying Serpent Kick to each target, they lose nearly no time in travel time even if the targets are spread apart.

Just another thought, and hear me out. With the new Tempête, Terre et Feu change being almost exclusive to use in PvE, could we do a talent switcheroo? Nerf Xuen's damage a little bit, but make him baseline(as it probably should've always been) and put the new Tempête, Terre et Feu in his spot on the talent tree. That way we could pick Tempête, Terre et Feu for those crazy AoE fights(Hello Iskar, my old friend), but have Combinaison de coups or Vent de jade fulgurant for other situations and then we have our Xuenny-poo all the time. This would also give PvPers another valid CD to use and so they wouldn't have to look at Tempête, Terre et Feu on their bar wondering if they'll ever use it. I just don't see the point of giving us Tempête, Terre et Feu baseline when it'd only be useful on a handful of fights, whereas Xuen would be the most generic CD for use on everything for both PvE and PvP.

I may just be completely crazy, but I wouldn't be opposed to the new Tempête, Terre et Feu change if that was the case. Could potentially be swapped for other things as well, that was just the one that made perfect sense to me.

Sounds like you're assuming Tempête, Terre et Feu isn't intended for use in PvP... It is. It's not the same use as it had before, but it should still be useful.

i do have a question about the counter. Based on the description, I can tag 10-12 targets within 4-5 globals (depending on if you tab target or not to help the Tempête, Terre et Feu). There should be a way to show which targets have been tagged. That way us as a player know not to attack a tagged target. Secondly If I tag a target, and 5 seconds later TP that same target, will the counter for that target get refreshed? Also what will the Tempête, Terre et Feu do if they run out of targets to tag? Will they stop on said target and just continue to copy your moves until someone's "debuff" falls off?

They 100% work as would be ideal, continuing to refresh on whatever was hit longest ago. There's no debuff with Tempête, Terre et Feu, because there's no need; they'll take care of it for you (unless there's some silly 20+ target situation, which we virtually never do).

Maybe a moot thing once people talent into the Tempête, Terre et Feu artifact trait (38% damage instead of 33%; or a total of 114% damage).

That trait will change.

There was a very recent post from Celestalon aimed at frost mages, that referenced efforts to reinforce their niche of 2 target cleave, which has existed "for a while". Since Tempête, Terre et Feu came out in mid MoP Windwalkers have likewise had a niche with cleave - even spread cleave. I guess this does not count as "for a while"? Or there are other reasons why this long-running spec identity is no longer acceptable?

A very fair question. We agree that the spread cleave niche that Windwalkers had was pretty cool, and unique among melee. Maintaining Frost's niche was easy, and caused no problems. Conversely, maintaining Windwalker's niche was running into problems left and right. Thus, we're trying something different. This is a very significant and experimental change, to be sure; that's why we're trying to be so communicative with you all about it.

Seriously... pages and pages of monk fixes and still NO DESTRO.They're gonna release the spec right before legion live it seems....

As they said, the Destruction spec hasn't changed (much) so it is intended and (if you ask me) quite useful to have that said spec as the last one implemented. Obviously to have more testing data for all the other specs with more significant changes.

Destro hasn't changed much? It has had a massive overhaul and been completely sh*t upon. If anything it needs a RE-fix more than most other classes and specs.

Why is blizzard being lazy and re-using a WoD Placeable in legion even on the news of Wowhead? it's just dumb capitalistic promotion for some stupid plushie that was just created to be "generic cute" so stupid people can buy it.

Basically, Storm, Earth, and Fire should help you maximize Storm, Earth, and Fire in just a couple GCDs, while they're out

This was fixed to "maximize Spinning Crane Kick in just a couple GCDs" - Celestalon made a typo and edited it. :)

There's five entries. Stuff about mounts, monks and movies...... and people are complaining about Pepe? Come on, folks, really?

I can't tell if this is just the typical "kids think it's cool to hate things other people love" crap, or what. I don't know. And honestly? I really don't care. I just think it's rude and demoralizing to have people come in and dump all over something other folks enjoy.

I don't find stuff about raids interesting. I stopped raiding back during Wrath. Raid information bores me.But I don't begrudge people who want to read about it, and I certainly don't %^&*! about the plethora of posts regarding raids.That would be both stupid of me (considering the fact that it's clearly something people want) and rude to the folks who work hard to compile and post raid information.

So don't like Pepe if you want, haters - but keep it to yourselves. No one wants to hear it. Really.

Take pity on those who have nothing better to do than whine about and hate on something they could very easily ignore.
